outlook is not OE and in some versions, the address book view is not sortable. The blank lines you see are from blank contacts - do you have some with email addresses but other fields blank? if not, then you have a corrupted address book or contacts folder.

Determine the sort field you set for the Outlook Address Book. Look for
Contacts in which that field is blank.

Okay. So how do I get rid of the empty rows? I have no apparent empty
Contacts in the contacts folder.

The Address Book view contains no data is not an interface in which you
should ever try to edit or manipulate data. You only do that in the
Contacts Folder where the data resides.

When I click the Address Book button on the Outlook 2003 toolbard, I get
a list of my Contacts. At the top, there are 6 blank rows before my
first contact is displayed. I've tried to delete the rows by hitting
the Del button while having one or more of these blank rows displayed.
When I do this, a "Are you sure that you want to..." dialog box appears,
so I click Yes but nothing is deleted.

What be up with Dat? How do I get rid of the empty rows?


Thanks,
